Ninth-Inning Rally Falls Short, As Baseball Falls To IU, 6-2

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A ninth-inning rally fell short on Tuesday night, as the University of Evansville baseball team dropped a 6-2 decision to the homestanding Indiana Hoosiers at Bart Kaufman Field in Bloomington, Indiana.

"A tough one tonight," said UE head coach Wes Carroll. "I thought that our pitching gave us a really good chance tonight against a very good Indiana lineup, but we just couldn't get that key base hit that we needed to unlock a big inning.

"It was really special to see the game that Eric Roberts had though, as it was great to see him go up top twice and close to within one home run of the single-season record.
